Read MoreRasnov Castle
Located between the city of Brasov and Bran castle lies Rasnov. Rasnov (the Romanian spelling) is more of a citadel than it is castle-esque like Hunyad, but was built much earlier – around 1215. Rasnov was built by the Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem – also known as the Teutonic Knights. As their allegiance was to the Papacy – one can deduce that this was not a pleasant place either. The citadel was conquered only once in 1600 by Gabriel Bathory. The location is prime – situated high atop a bluff along the road linking Transylvania and...

Read MoreHunyad Castle Hunedoara
Hunyad Castle, or as it is sometimes named, Hunedoara, is located in the the southeastern Transylvania region of Romania near the Poiana Rusca Mountains. Let’s start with a bit of a story about our first trip to the castle. We, a group of expats, did as any expat is sure to do – we packed our bags and made our way around the country learning all we could learn and seeing all we could see.
